Hlela Ofuna Ukukwenza Lokuthi Uzakwenza Njani

Eminyakeni esanda kwedlula, abachwayisayo baphethe ngokuthi ukuba lethemba yikukholwa ukuthi uzakwenelisa ukwenza lokho okuhlelileyo. Lanxa kunjalo, ukuba lethemba kutsho izinto ezinengi njengoba sizabona esihlokweni esilandelayo. Ukukholwa ukuthi uyenelisa ukwenza okuhlelileyo kuzakunceda ukuthi ungalahli ithemba.

Okungenza uphumelele ukwenza okuhlelileyo yikuthi uhle ukwenze masinyane, ungatshoni ubalisa. Kodwa nxa kukwehlula, sokumele ucabangisise ngalokho ohlela ukukwenza. Kuyini ohlele ukukwenza? Kulula ukuthi sithatheke ngezinye izinto singacabanganga ngokuthi kuyini sibili esikuqakathekisayo empilweni. IBhayibhili lakhuluma kudala ngokungasinceda ukuthi sihlele kuhle izinto esifuna ukuzenza. Lathi: “Libe leqiniso lokuthi yiziphi izinto eziqakatheke kakhulu.”—KwabaseFiliphi 1: 10.

Nxa sikwazi ukuthi yiziphi izinto eziqakatheke kakhulu kuzakuba lula ukuhlela ukuthi sifuna ukwenzani ekukhonzeni, emulini, emsebenzini lakokunye nje. Kodwa kuqakathekile ukuthi singaqali ngokuhlela ukwenza izinto ezinengi lokuthi lokho esikuhlelayo kube yinto esikwaziyo ukuthi sizenelisa ukuyenza. Nxa into esifuna ukuyenza ikhanya inzima kungaba lula ukuthi sicine sikhalala. Yikho nxa umsebenzi umkhulu, okungasinceda yikuwenza kancane kancane.

Abanye bajayele ukuthi nxa kulolutho ofuna ukulwenza awusweli indlela yokulwenza futhi kwezinye izikhathi kuba njalo sibili. Nxa sesikwazi ukuthi sifuna ukwenzani, kuyabe sekumele sizimisele ukukwenza. Okungasinceda ukuthi sizimisele yikucabangisisa ukuthi yindaba esifuna ukukwenza kuqakathekile lokuthi sizatholani nxa sesiqedile. Lanxa kungaba lobunzima, akumelanga sibuvumele busiqede amandla.

Kumele sicabange langokuthi singenzani ukuze siqede esiyabe sihlele ukukwenza. Umlobi okuthiwa ngu-C.R. Snyder wathi nxa umuntu elendlela ezitshiyeneyo zokwenza ayabe ekuhlelile uba lethemba. Nxa enye indlela ingasasebenzanga, usengasebenzisa eyesibili loba eyesithathu njalonjalo.

USnyder waphinda wathi nxa obufuna ukukwenza kungasaphumeleli, ungesabi ukutshintsha wenze okunye. Phela ukuhlala ucabanga ngalokho ongasenelisanga ukukwenza kungakuqeda amandla. Kodwa ukudinga okunye ongenelisa ukukwenza kuzakunceda ukuthi ube lethemba.

IBhayibhili lisitshela ngomunye owakwenzayo lokho. INkosi uDavida yayikulindele ngabomvu ukwakha ithempeli likaJehova uNkulunkulu. Kodwa uDavida watshelwa ukuthi indodana yakhe uSolomoni yiyo eyayizakwakha ithempeli lelo. UDavida kazange athwale imikhono ekhanda kodwa wahle wacabanga ngokunye ayengakwenza. Wasebenza nzima eqoqa izimali lalokho okwakuzasetshenziswa yindodana yakhe ekwakheni ithempeli.—1 AmaKhosi 8:17-19; 1 ImiLando 29:3-7.

Ukuhlela lokho ofuna ukukwenza ayisikho kodwa okungakunceda ukuthi uhlale ulethemba. Kodwa izikhathi ezinengi okwenza silahle ithemba yizinto eziphezu kwamandla ethu. Manje kuyini okungasinceda ukuthi sihlale silethemba lanxa impilo inzima ngenxa yendlala, izimpi, ukuphathwa kubi kwabantu, ukugula lokufa?
